Did you find the eggnog?
Also, the tin shield behind the brake rotor may be bent and is rubbing the rotor. It's not uncommon to bend that thin shield when removing and lowering a tire. The shield may also be very rusty. I had scraping on my 88 Accord, and after chasing the noise for a while, I found the shield had swelled up from rust in an area behind the rotor. I had to remove the rotor to get to the rusty area.

Does it sound like something is turning while rubbing (changes with speed) or does it sound the same, regardless of speed? The ball joints and suspension bushings are famous for making scrunching sounds, especially when it's cold. The ball joint/bushing noises will go away in the summer, and return every winter. If I would go over a speed bump with my 92 Accord it would make a sort of "fart" sound, but only when the temperature was below 45 degrees, which is not very often here in the deeeep South.

This is my first posting. What is the procedure to replace the instrument cluster for a 92 accord? without breaking the trimming.
I'll appreciate your response, Thanks

Thanks.
As I approach 200K on my '93, I'm looking at a timing belt replacement.
I've never had to pay for one myself--what's to be expected for a '93 Accord?
Thanks in advance for any help.
The Honda dealership in Leesburg quoted my replacement @ $950! :mad:
Problem is, I do not know when the belt was replaced last, but the serp. was replaced recently, so they might have done them at the same time. In either case, it's just safe to do it now so it dosen't break on me down the road.
I've got 178k mi on mine, and I drive it several days a week.
Keep shopping around - I'm in Alabama, but I'd think you could get a timing belt done ANYWHERE in the country for less than $600, if not necessarily $475 (for just the belt, they quoted $400, and said they'd do the water pump for the price of the pump - no extra labor).
I am hoping I am wrong, but I think its the counter balance shaft seals. The counterbalance shaft galley is pressurized by the oil and the oil pump. When those seals fail, the car drips oil out of the the front. When those seals fail catastrophically, it pumps all of the oil out of the car onto the ground in a Valdez type puddle (don't ask me how I know :sick: ). The upside is if you need a timing belt service, this would be a good time, as they can replace those seals at the same time saving you some labor.
edit - I think mine did it at 140k but I have to go back and look.
I've got a rust spot on my Accord's right rear fender. It is a small spot--maybe 1/2" in diameter. If I go to a body shop to get that fixed, will they paint it? I'd like to have it look as close to the original paint color as possible. Has anyone had experience with this before??
Thanks,
Matt
However severe the rust is/isn't, don't expect any type of warranty on the repair work.
Mrbill
But you are talking 90-93 right?
Matt, if it were me, for a 1/2" spot, i'd probably apply some Rustoleum or other chemical neutralizer to just the affected area, then lightly sand the resultant area and apply the paint I got from Honda. I admit to not knowing much about painting and touch-up and such, but to have someone shoot the entire fender????
I've had hondas for years, and touchup has worked for me...I'd be saving that $$$ you'd pay a paint shop to cover replacing a major part or unexpected service.
I'm going to go to a local body shop here and see what they quote me.If it's too much I'll try the rustoleum idea with the touch-up paint.
Thanks again!

I am having a problem with the electrical system on my 1993 Accord 10th anv ed. While driving or after i have been driving for sometime, even short distances at times, the electrical system will start to fail. All of the gauges will cut off and power to the engine will severly diminish. When it happens if I try to give it gas the engine will sputter. Nothing else goes out except for the gauges, but the headlights,interior lights,etc will go dim. I changed the battery two days ago and the problem is still occuring. Was told that it could be the alternator. Is there any advice or suggestions that anyone can help me with?

I've got a 93 Accord with the auto transmission. When @ 60 MPH, the motor turns over at 2400 or so RPM. 65 is about 2600 RPM, and 70 MPH takes 3000 RPM.
From those of you with other accords in this generation, is this a normal number? It seems high to me. Thanks in advance for any input!
2350-60mph
2600-65mph
2850-70mph
Don't sweat it, it's quite normal.
It just seemed a bit high compared to some other cars I've driven. Thanks for the confirmation.
